HOLIDAY GREETINGS
A CHEERFUL GIVE I
May the time soon come when all the
nations of earth, whatever their bound
aries and whatever their forma of gov
ernment. can be included under the
peaceful and friendly title of “The
United States of Christendom’’.
Oliver Wendell Holmes
“The Lord loveth a cheerful giver,*’
and “It is more blessed to give than
to receive,” are faithful sayings, and
worthy of all acceptation. Give where
your gift is needed, where it brings
joy and gladness, and your own heart
will swell wi'h real pleasure. To lav
ish gifts upon the rich, the strong, the
powerful, in the hope that you may re
ceive in turn, is mean, groveling and
pitiful. Don’t belittle yourself that
way. Give freely only where love
prompts, or better yet, go out among
Gol’s poor, hunt out those less favor
ed or less fortunate and .do acts that
will brighten human lives and the
brightness will come back into your
own heart by reflection.
The great and noble characters of
the world, the men in all ages who
have been admired and loved have
been the generous men. The shunned
and hated and despised creatures of
the human race have always been the
misers, the stingy, grasping hoarding
pinching wretches who valued money
above heman souls, and hugged their
wealth in the face of misery. The
world shouts and laughs when such
men die, but it follows the generous
man to his grave with tears and real
sorrow.
The United States, the greatest op
portunity ever offered to man. Each
citizen shall 1 urgj hi nialf and thi n -
tion onward in intelligence, indus.ry,
honor and benevolence.
David Swing.

Christmas giving has long been and
will probabaly continue a chief chara-

such means do love and friendship

Chamberlain’s Liniment is one of
the most remarkable preparations yet
produced for the relief of rheumatic
pains, and for lame back, sprains and
bruises. The quick relief from pain
which it affords in case of rheumatism
is alone worth many times its cost.

For That Dull Feeling After Eating,
I have used Chamberlain’s Stomach
and Liver Tablets for some time, and
can testify that they have done me
more good than any tablets I have
ever used. My trouble was a heavy
dull feeling after eating—D avid

These tablets strengthen the stomach
and improve the digestion. They also
regulate the liver and bowels. They
are far superior to pills but cost no
more. Get a free sample at Robin-

splendid medicine it is.
